Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

An Understanding Heart, Part 1 of 2 (When Jesus Has Your Heart)

September 30, 2016

When we can’t control our circumstances, we often feel helpless. The disciples felt that way when Jesus said He was going to the cross. How He encouraged them is how He’ll encourage us. It all has to do with finding out what’s on “the last page.”

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Perhaps you’ve made many friends along life’s road. Jesus told us how true love is manifested: that a man lay down his life for his friends. Is this the kind of love manifested in your life, and in mine?

Believers bear fruit in life’s race by abiding in Jesus, the Vine. The resulting fruit is sweet to the Father, who tends His garden carefully to maximize the harvest. So, how much fruit are you bearing? How much am I bearing?

As we run the race of life, Jesus wants us to know where the real power comes from. His disciples were common people of the land, and they understood a word picture about fruit. Let’s all learn a lesson on fruitbearing from a vine and its branches.

When life’s race gets tough, inner peace is what you need. Whether you have health issues, broken relationships, or face an uncertain financial future, the peace Jesus offers is promised to all who believe in Him.

Running the hectic race of life is a lot easier when we have peace within our souls. Peace is getting scarcer with increasing fears of economic collapse in a world ever more hostile to Christ. But Jesus gives His peace to those who believe in Him.
